Hello every body,
So far there is one major feture that I miss in NTP. The option to choose which libraries that shall be visable in the Lib Bar. It tend to be too many there...now I get rid of the ones I for the moment don't use by moving them to another folder.
And also the possibility to sort them not having to rename them wold be handy.

If there is a trick for this I would greatly appriciate the tip!

Search no further. Here is one of the most useful Libraries

Hello ,

In new version of NTP I would like to be able to "Number Lines" (see
Modify menu) with numbers beginning with zero.

As a mailing list I use indexes articles beginning with zero as in eg.
020300
(presumably to allow for orderly indexing of many many messages over time)

If I am not overlooking something that is already available, how is
the best way to get this recommendation to the developer?

Hello Group-
Can NoteTab (standard) help me do the following: Take a 1000+Rows by 8
Column table and create a space padded table? The "table" is a CSV Text
file of about 100k. The fields are variable length text. If I create a
Tab a delimited text file the variable length fields cause the
'columns' to get jumbled. If I use FrontPage/Excel/etc. to create an
HTML table the file gets very large (~1mb) which really slows the
display down.

Hello notetab,

One small thing in NTP4.6 that I don't like is when I am building an
outline file, and I want to add a new heading. I click on the 'Add
Heading' icon. That give the 'Outline Heading' dialog. Fine. But if I
have 'Show Heading' ticked then the first line of whatever I put into
the Contents editor window will be taken as the relevant entry for the
Headings list (or table of contents). So this intervening dialog of
'Outline Heading' is irrelevant to me. I feel that different
conditions apply when 'Show Headings' is ticked, conditions which make
the 'Outline Heading' dialog redundant.

E.g., I am doing wholesales cut and pastes into an outline file, and I
just want to add a new heading, and dump the material in, and work out
the heading later.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I think if 'Show Heading' is ticked,
then the intervening dialog of 'Outline Heading' is a waste of
effort. Preferably it could just make a new empty heading and let me
create the heading by the natural process of accepting the first line
of whatever goes into the Contents editor window.

As it is now I just quickly type anything, eg. jdk to get past the
time-consuming dialog of 'Outline Heading' dialog.

Am I missing something?

I think you are saying you then have two identical Headings so to
speak. One is the actual header, because you have Show Headings
on and the other is the title of your work. If you are going to
always have Show Headings on, then don't add a title to your
Topic. I guess I do not understand what you are saying.

> As it is now I just quickly type anything, eg. jdk to get past

To get past Document | Outline Headings... right click over the
Heading panel in the Outline itself and click. If you are doing
a lot of Outline work then Clips would be justified to aid you in
the work.

Also, if you know where you want to add a Heading/Topic at, below
what other Topic, all you need to do is focus that Topic. At the
bottom of it leave a blank line and paste your Heading/Topic in.
Page up till you get to your new Heading with the blank line
above it (important to remember) and add H= in front of it. Save
and Reload. Your new entry will be listed in your Outline then.

Try this exercise:

Click on any Heading and then Ctrl+End.

Press your Enter key once or twice to get two blank lines and
enter this:

Or if you are a keyboarder you and the focus is in your Topic
press Shift+F6 Shift+F10 [Letter]. Just press Shift+F10 [Letter]
if you are already in the Heading panel.

(Shift+F4 gets the Clipbook in focus and Shift+F7 gets you to the
Quick List.)

NTP has to have some heading text to add a new section, but
there are ways to save your fingers movement...

In the context menu of the outline window "Add from Clipboard"
would do the job, but the dialog comes up, too (although you can
just temporarily confirm the default value) and there is no toolbar
entry for this. So still at least two clicks and one return.

You can write a small clip doing the same with some bogus header
text. With the clipbook open and "Execute on single click" set we
save one click and the return.

And if you add it to your clipbar (check NTP4.8 beta for this great
new feature) you can even keep the clipbook hidden ;-)

Example Clip (copy those 3 lines to the clipboard and select "Add
from Clipboard" in the Clipbook context menu):

Well you intuitively have restated my problem. If I have Show Headings
enabled I really shouldn't have to add a title or a Header name;
because I am going to be dumping material into the Contents editor
window, and whatever is the first line will end up as both the defacto
title and the actual header.
As there is going to be a header name (via the pasting), I shouldn't
have to enter one in the annoying intervening dialog.

>From the help file : "You will then be prompted to enter the name for

the new heading."
Trying to think of a descriptive name for the new outline heading at
this stage is unwarranted, as I have material in the clipboard that I
wish to dump into a newly created topic, and it may well be that the
top line of that cut material is perfectly adequate as a descriptive
heading.

Of course if I skip a line in pasting into the newly created topic
(that is, if the top line is left blank) I will be prompted to remove the
entry from the outline list, but that is not as issue for me, as I
just naturally have something on the top line, as that is the only
natural place to paste in a clean newly created topic page of a OTL file.

When I make test clips or enter an Outline heading and I don't
care what the name is. I just hit a few random keys so the
heading might be like one of these: cghj, dyj, dyrt, dfy, awer,
aiyuo. Obviously it does not tell me much, except that it needs
to be looked at. :) And don't you know I have a number of those
around.

So, you could do something like that or make a Clip as suggested
and put it on the new Clipbar that would insert a "Needs Name"
and enough breaks after it so you can paste in. But, if I was
going to go through the trouble to do that my Clip would
automatically get the Clipboard contents and do it all in one
click. You know how to find the Clips list. <g>

Hi Jody and Relieb-Jean, ... Or you could just downlaod CLIPSTOR from the NoteTab Libraries site !-) Regards, Larry larryt@netins.net

Go to the end of your outline file and make it a pasteboard.
Set your PasteBoard Divider to 2 blank lines followed by H=

When you're done copying to the outline,, reload it & you'll have new
topics with the first line of each copy as the name.

Actually, you can start anyplace you want in the outline as long as
you make sure your cursor is at the end of the text for the current
topic.
